Entreprenant was the first of a sequence of three vessels of the French Navy in 1807-1810 under the same name and with the same captain. She was a patamar launched in 1807 at Île de France (now Mauritius). She cruised in Indian waters against British shipping. Her captain in 1808 turned her over to her prisoners from a capture. After he left, one set of prisoners captured her from another and she then disappears from further records.
